Prathichaya marks a crucial moment for both director B. Unnikrishnan and actor Nivin Pauly, as they look to regain momentum in their respective careers. While Unnikrishnan has been searching for a major hit for over a decade, Nivin Pauly recently ended his dry spell with Sarvam Maya, only to face a setback with Baby Girl. This film arrives at a time when both are aiming to re-establish their footing in the industry.

With Prathichaya, the duo dives into the political thriller space, blending real-world inspirations with fictional storytelling. Early audience reactions on X suggest a film that grows over time, starting on a modest note before building into something more engaging. Let’s take a look at what audiences are saying about the film on X.

For the first half, Prathichaya has received a mixed, slightly positive response from the audience. The cast performances and background music are being praised, with veteran actor Balachandra Menon receiving the most appreciation through comments like “Balachandra Menon is superb” and “Relevant Socio Political Dialogues Which is Fully Owned by Balachandra Menon as Minister Varghese.”

Some viewers feel the film gains pace and intrigue towards the interval despite a weak start, noting that it “starts on a dull note but picks up towards the interval.” A few also mention that the script is not entirely up to the mark but still acceptable, with comments like “Decent Writing” and “Unnikrishnan delivers an emotional but slightly outdated first half.”

However, almost everyone agrees that the film needs a strong second half to succeed. “Set up well for the second half and a Nivin show!” Many are hoping for a solid performance from Nivin Pauly in the latter half. Sharaf U Dheen, playing the antagonist, is also receiving positive feedback from the audience, with reactions like “Sharafudheen as villain is always SOLID & menacing.”

The second half is where Prathichaya really picks up steam, and it is nearly universally praised, giving the overall film a positive aura. Some are even hailing it as a return to form for the writer-director, with reactions like “solid comeback for #BUnnikrishnan,” “A good film from B. Unnikrishnan with strong political content and good execution”, and “B Unnikrishnan’s best in recent times”.

As mentioned in the first half, praise for the technical aspects continues here as well. Nivin Pauly’s performance is also being appreciated, with comments like “#NivinPauly delivers a mature, layered performance.” and “Nivin and Balachandra Menon delivered their best in their roles”.

Prathichaya draws inspiration from real political incidents in Kerala while remaining largely fictionalized. The film opens on a measured note, carefully building its characters and plot before rising to a compelling payoff. The cast and crew are being widely appreciated for their efforts, with Balachandra Menon standing out throughout and Nivin Pauly shining in the latter half, the duo delivering a convincing father-son dynamic.

Backed by positive early word of mouth, the film has the potential to emerge as a success. B. Unnikrishnan, too, is earning praise after a long gap for his filmmaking. Elevated by a much-loved background score, Prathichaya shapes up as a solid watch for audiences who enjoy political thrillers.
